Course Description:

Want to get more out of your wall systems without overcomplicating your builds? This session dives into high-performance wall assemblies that deliver—on energy efficiency, durability, and buildability. We’ll break down how to design smarter, not harder, with a focus on Advanced Framing techniques that reduce material use while boosting performance. Whether you’re aiming to meet stricter codes, hit sustainability goals, or just build better buildings, you’ll pick up practical strategies to create wall systems that work harder for you—and your bottom line.

Learning Objectives:

1. Understand the Key Principles of high-performance wall systems, including energy efficiency, durability, and buildability, to create smarter, more efficient designs.
2. Explore Advanced Framing Techniques that reduce material usage while enhancing wall system performance and sustainability.
3. Learn How to Meet Stricter Building Codes and sustainability goals through the use of innovative wall assembly strategies and design methods.
4. Apply Practical Design Strategies to create high-performance wall systems that improve both construction efficiency and long-term building performance, ultimately benefiting project timelines and budgets.
